I am facing two peculiar issues in my HA setup recently. My installation is on a RPi 3 using Raspbian OS.
This same installation is running well for more than a year without a trouble. However, recently I noticed that if I restart the Pi for any reason it reverts back to a specific dates snapshot!!! In between, whatever I do (delete some files, edit few files, add some) doesn’t matter.
Second issue is, I am getting an WARNING of
Unable to find service input_slider/select_value
whereas I don’t have any slider component i.e. it has been changed to input_number. And to resolve this error I had removed each and every configuration lines that’s related to input_number. One last resort of rewriting the card and starting from the scratch might solve the issue but I really don’t want to go that route unless I am left with no other option.
I know its very hard to even guess the root cause not knowing the complete config or components; the reason I am asking because someone might have experienced these already and got some way to resolve it ??
Yep I changed that one as I mentioned. Then I disabled the input_number configuration from my configuration completely, still the WARNING! is there… As pointed by @anon43302295 May be my SD Card is not playing nice…
sorry, missed that. that’s what I get for viewing on mobile. The forums look a little different and I skipped that part. I’d say the SD card is going bad. Unfortunately I’ve never experienced that so I can’t comment much more on it.
Thank you all for your suggestions… I went with a fresh install (HassIO this time) in a new SD Card. After several iterations, now this is working fine… The root cause most likely was the SD card. As the card can be re-written fine without any issue but whenever I try it with any Pi with any OS, something wrong with expanding the root fs… weird!!! Anyway, I am happy that everything started working again…
